  • 1/2 tsp MSG
  • 1 tsp Meat tenderizer

    this recipe calls for 3 liquid mixtures to possibly ’soak meat overnight’ in. there is for curing, the extender and seasoning. i am no food expert so somebody please tell me if the intruction means we just need to put everything in together all at once. thanks

    I haven’t tried this yet, I really want to discover how Aling Nene, Inengs and Reyes Barbecue recipes comes out very tender. The usual barbecue comes tough. Is this because of the curing materials as mentioned also in your recipe? Also their BBQ doesnt shrink when cooked, how do they do that?

      @rj, isa sa mga pampasarap na seasoning, i’m not sure if it’s available in other stores beside spices and foodmix.

  6. Barbecued pork makes the entire world go around, seriously. The bbq’d pork in Vietnamese food is my favorite!
